Underground Locations Properties Tab

You use the Properties tab of the Location Properties pane to define the mining and ancillary activities for the location. The properties of the location that is selected in the 3D Canvas are displayed in the Properties tab.

The Properties tab contains tabs for Mining and any Ancillary Activities.

You can select locations in the 3D Canvas and modify the properties of the locations in the Properties tab of the Location Properties pane, or you can use the spreadsheet view. The spreadsheet view is useful in mining scenarios where the number of locations is so large that viewing and editing properties by interacting with the 3D Canvas is not efficient.

To access the spreadsheet view, select Spreadsheet > Enable Spreadsheet Views, and then select the Mining and Fill Locations spreadsheet. When the Mining and Fill Locations spreadsheet is enabled, it replaces the Properties tab in the Location Properties pane.

Fields on the Location Properties Tab

Field Description
Name

Locations are automatically assigned a unique default name.

You can change the name to any name you want, using any alphanumeric characters in your language and the characters dash (-), underscore (_), and forward slash (/). It is good practice to name your locations according to the following recommendations:

  • choose names that allow you to specify groups of locations using wildcards
  • choose names that are concise, yet descriptive
  • do not include spaces
  • use all uppercase or all lowercase lettering

Note: Names are case-sensitive.

Collection

The collection to which the location belongs.

Collections define the material movement from the location. By default, new locations are assigned to the Default_Collection. You create new collections on the Collections tab.

Model

The model that is associated with the location.

This field lists all the models added to the scenario. If only one model is added to the scenario, it is selected by default.

Active
  • Selected: The location is active.
  • Cleared: The location is inactive. The location is not displayed in the 3D Canvas when the Active check box is cleared.
  • Tip: When you clear the Active check box, you make the location inactive in the scenario without deleting the location.
